Circular hike with Pölstal view from Möderbrugg

We start at the parking lot of the ADEG store in Möderbrugg (1), 912 m. Over the wooden bridge we come to the leisure and landscape pond complex St. Oswald-Möderbrugg. Passing the pond facilities, we walk downstream along the asphalt sidewalk. We cross the road and follow the path that leads directly next to the Pöls river until we reach the 24-hour farm store Adelwöhrer. A look inside the store is definitely recommended. The hiking trail continues to the right on the gravel road, along the Pöls. Cross the bridge and head towards the main road or Hotel Restaurant Timmerer (2), 905 m. Arrived at the federal road, we keep to the right and follow the road for about 300 meters, before we turn left into a side road. We now follow the road for about 3 km through the Möderbach ditch. Arrived at a sharp right turn, we go uphill following the road and immediately see a large pasture gate on the right. Here we leave the road and hike comfortably uphill on forest roads - partly through pastures - for about 2 km. We reach a clearing (3), 1302 m, with a pond and a hut. Here we have reached our highest point. We continue on the forest road slightly downhill until we pass a gate shortly after the Straller hut. After a short while we come to the meadow areas around the Schneebergerhaus and the associated chapel. At the Schneeberger chapel (4), 1202 m, we take our time and enjoy the wonderful view. The hiking trail leads down into the valley via the access road, although there is also a steeper shortcut from the chapel to Möderbrugg. Both paths lead directly to the center and thus to our starting point.

In summer you can take your swimming gear with you and after the hike you can take advantage of the free recreational and landscape pond facility.
